Wow! Great haul! As always, I'm just in love with the aesthetic of Evangelion packaging. Maybe it's just my everblinding love for Eva, but I feel like the packaging-quality is a notch above other franchises.

Thanks!

In case you don't translate for a living, you should seriously consider making it some kind of side-gig."Reichu's translation services."

Ooh, often for Yahoo Auctions, I don't need a full translation, but just simple questions answered like, "Is the seller selling me just the box?" So it'd be cool to offer that as a service as well, "Questions answered."

Hypothetically speaking, how much would you charge per line in the Another Cases translation?

I don't know, I feel like the Original I, II, III book covers look cool and the Mitsuo Iso book cover looks awesome,but the rest of the covers look weird.

Ahh, it gave me the warm and fuzzies to see that special edition PSP GoS box: I played that all the time in college (before I had to sell most of my Eva stuff when moving back home I made a point to keep my favorite Eva things, though—such as PS2 and PSP NGE2—so no worries there.) The PC versions of the GoS 1 and 2 games do have implied nudity/panty shots the Sony releases naturally censored, lol.

As I'm collecting these somewhat rare Evangelion CDs, I'm wondering if there should be some kind of preservation responsibility I should take like uploading the ISOs to some kind of private archive. It's easy to think there's no way something as merchandised as Evangelion is rare, but I don't know ... I'm having somewhat of a difficult time collecting certain CDs, on top of misinformation.

Furthermore, I won a bulk auction on a bunch of Eva books, which had like 16 Eva books/misc-items.I'm only tackling like 5 of them here, will do the other 11 or so later when I figure out what the heck they are.

First up, I got the final two CDs to the Shinji and Friends set (spine-card/obi included!)

This completes the set:

SPOILER: Show

Next up I got the Secret of Evangelion PC version.I already have this one for PS2 & PSP, but I didn't know a PC version even existed.I decided to get it in case it had any version differences/extras.

SPOILER: Show

Sure enough it comes with a postcard, what looks to be a mini mouse-pad, and a (I think) different manual.

SPOILER: Show

Next up, I bought the combo pack (bottom) variant of the separately released Rei & Asuka 3D packs (top two).

I wanted to see if there was any different content, and sure enough, they added an extra content CD.

The extra content are scenes of Rei & Asuka together.

Next up, with stuff like Re-Take in my collection, I was like, why the heck not,and so here are the PC releases of the two official Eva and good friends games.The information online keeps mixing up these two games,Lots of places don't even know the version on the right exists.Left is "Eva and Good Friends"Right is "Eva and Good Friends: The Stripping Instrumentality Project",a sequel to the first. Technically they don't flat-out state it's a sequel but they do state it's not a rehash.

SPOILER: Show

Also got the book that breaks down the art in the Eva and Friends stripping games,and the same book also features scenes (which are much cleaner) from the Shinji and Friends games.(I've blacked out the NSFW pieces but heads up anyways because Kaworu still looks creepy).

Evangelion Adam and Eva books:I don't get these, they're just pictures of the men and women in Evangelion.Maybe at the time on the internet not a lot of people had a scanner/digital-camera,so this was the only way to enjoy pictures like this, in a book? * shrugs *

SPOILER: Show

Evangelion Jo for the PSP:

SPOILER: Show

Ayanami Rei raising project 2001 PC version (next to DS Asuka variant which I already had):(I'm now on the lookout for the 2003 PC version)

SPOILER: Show

Both Evangelion RPG books, though not sure how many there are in total.For those not familiar, the books have punch-out cards inside them,and I imagine it's sort of like Dungeons and Dragons.

SPOILER: Show

The book, 2015: The Last Year of Ryohji Kaji.I got to say, the photographs of life-like Eva scenes in this are rather lovely.

SPOILER: Show

Evangelion Digital Gadget CD: Not sure where this is from, probably included with a magazine or something?It's sort of like another collector's CD, with apps on it and wallpapers.I need to check if the apps are unique or collected from other sources.

Sadamoto digital art collection CD.I wish I knew with what this was packaged, or if it was sold standalone.

Can't believe the DSS Choker at the beginning of this thread is a thing lol.Want it.

Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"-Asuka: THINK IN GERMAN!!! -Shinji: Öh... Baumkuchen...Hayashida: "As game developers, our work is special. All of us here can put smiles on very many people's faces with our work.""In any case, it (Kill la Kill) is the greatest work of fiction ever written and should be taught in schools." -Squigsquasher~('.'~) (~'.')~ Dancin Kirby
